Icarus Bastille
This is an easy song to play, just listen to it to get the rhythm or play it however you
want around these chords! Pretty sure they're all correct :)
I think the chorus sounds better with a D/F# rather than just a D but either makes sense
and D is a litter easier to play.

[Em]Ohhh oh oh [C]oh ohhh [D]ohhh

Verse 1:
[C]Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
[Em]You'll drink yourself to [D]death

[C]Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
[Em]You won't remember [D]this
